Legal Description: Section 18, Township 28, Range 1 East WM; APN 821182003 . SlopelElevation: 0 to 15% . Location: 2203 Beaver Valley Road, one half mile south of Beaver Valley Store (Location Map Figure I Appendix) . Soils: EvD Everett gravelly sandy loam and Mm McMurray and Mukilteo Peat Introduction At the request of Lou Slagle, Dixie Llewellin of Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. conducted a wetland delineation on April 26, 2000. The 53-acre site is located in Beaver Valley (2203 Beaver Valley Road) west of Highway 19. This wetland survey is precursory to a building permit application for a manufactured home installation to be located near the wetland. The results of this report will also affect the placement of an existing structure, which has been referred to as "Fred's" mobile home (letter to Lou Slagle March 29,2000 from Michelle Farfan, Assistant Planner Jefferson County Department of Community Development). The portion of the wetland surveyed lies directly west of the existing mobile homes. The scope of this delineation was to determine the area of the wetland and buffers that would affect final placement of the manufactured home. The wetland will be considered a Class I wetland due to the large size, forest cover, and connections to a fish-bearing stream. Development adjacent to wetlands or within wetland buffers is subject to regulation standards of the Jefferson County Critical Areas Ordinance and the Corps of Engineers. Methodology Prior to the fieldwork, the following maps were consulted: . National Wetland Inventory Maps . U.S. Geological Survey Maps . Jefferson County Critical Areas Maps (Figure ill Appendix) . Soil Survey Maps of Jefferson County (U.S. Soil Conservation Service 1975) (Figure IV Appendix) Fieldwork to determine the actual wetland boundaries was conducted according to the methodology outlined in the Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual (Department of Ecology #96-94). Washington Administrative Code requires that all wetlands within the State of Washington be delineated using this manual. Examination of three parameters is required for a positive wetland determination: hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and hydrology. For an area to qualify as a jurisdictional wetland it must have a positive indicator from all three parameters. All wetlands which meet the criteria, regardless of size, may be federally regulated. Lou Slagle Wetland Report 2000-52 1 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. 4/00 Classification and Jefferson Critical Areas Ordinance Wetland categorization was determined using the Washington State Department of Ecology Wetland Rating System (publication #91-57 October 1991), which assigns a numerical value to any given wetland according to wetland size, quality of surrounding buffers, vegetation diversity, wetland types, and habitat value. Wetlands are rated as entire systems and quite often extend beyond project boundaries. All wetlands are regulated by the most recent Jefferson County Critical Areas Ordinance (1995) wetlands are regulated if they meet certain sizes and classifications. Soils A hydric soil is a soil that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic condition in the upper part. Hydric soils favor the growth and regeneration ofhydrophytic vegetation. The indicators for this type of soil include low chroma, mottles, gleying and high organic content within the upper 32 inches of the soil profile. Holes were dug on the site and soil colors (including value and chroma) were recorded in the top 16 inches to determine wetland soils. Soil colors were analyzed using the Munsell Color Charts (1992). Vegetation Wetland plant species must constitute greater than 50% of the total vegetation present to meet the qualification as a site dominated by hydrophytic vegetation. Dominance of plant species is determined by calculating actual aerial cover within a 3D-foot radius for trees, a lO-foot radius for shrubs and a 6-foot radius for the herbaceous layer at each data point. Each species was recorded and given a rating according to its indicator status as described by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, National List ofFlant Species that occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9). Hydrology Wetland hydrology is defined as "areas that are periodically inundated or have soils saturated to the surface at some time during the growing season". Areas must have seasonally inundated or saturated soils at least 12.5% of the growing season. 1 Indicators of hydrology include visual observation of inundation or soil saturation, water-stained leaves, cracking at the soil suITace or sediment deposits. Positive signs of hydrology are often absent during the summer and fall months but can be inferred if there are positive indicators of hydric soil and hydrophytic vegetation. Findings Wetland Edges Boundaries were determined by establishing data points within the wetland, which contained positive indicators of all three of the wetland requirements; and data points outside the wetland, where wetland soils, hydrology or hydrophytic vegetation were not present. Data point locations are shown on the Wetland Delineation Map in the Appendix (Figure 11). 1 The growing season is defined by the Jefferson County soil survey as March 12 to November 25 in or near Port Townsend. Hydrology must be present for 12.5% (20 days) of these 258 days for an area to qualifY as a wetland. Lou Slagle Wetland Report 2 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. 4/00 2000-52 On April 26, 2000 wetland edges were flagged with orange Wetland boundary tape (AI through All) at 25 to 50 foot intervals. All data points and soil test pits were also flagged. Information for all data points was recorded and is included in the Corps of Engineers Data Forms in the Appendix. Wetland boundaries, data points, and approximate structure locations are shown on the Wetland Delineation Map in the Appendix (Figure II). The natural wetland buffer has been altered 8 to 10 years ago by adding a berm containing fill to accommodate the structures (conversation with Lou Slagle 11/15/99). There is a definite topographic rise between the fill and the wetland to the west, as well as a distinct plant community change. Soils, hydrology, and plant change also verity the wetland/upland edge, which generally runs along the base of the berm. On the northern edge of the property, the soil and wetland edge is less disturbed; soil pits verity the edge. There are two man-made ponds on the property that overflow towards the wetland. Classification and Jefferson Critical Areas Requirements According the Jefferson County Critical Areas map (verified by on-site findings) a Class I wetland exists to the west and north of the structures on the Slagle property. This wetland is large, spreading throughout Beaver Valley, and is connected to fish-bearing streams (Ludlow Creek and near the headwaters of Chimacum Creek). This wetland along the valley bottom includes a significant wildlife habitat movement corridor, has a forested class, and contains significant habit features such as standing dead trees. Class I wetlands receive the highest protection and require a maximum of75 feet buffer from the wetland edge (Low Intensity Land Uses Jefferson County Critical Areas Ordinance 6.505-5). Buffer averaging (Subsection 6.508, with the criteria of Subsection 11.1002, Jefferson Critical Areas Ordinance) will be an option only when the wetland functional values are not compromised. The total area contained within the wetland buffer should be equal to or greater than the buffer sacrificed. The standard buffer width cannot be reduced by more than fifty percent. A Class I wetland buffer shall under no circumstances be less than 38' wide. It should be noted that the boundary flagged represents only a small portion of this wetland, which continues to the south and to the north and extends well beyond the subject property. Soils Soils EvD Everett gravelly sandy loam and Mm McMurray and Mukilteo Peat. McMurray and Mukilteo Peat are soils are listed on the Jefferson County Hydric Soils List. T est pits were dug to a depth of 16 inches in the wetland area and inspected for hydric conditions. Highly saturated soils were located at Data Points #1, #3, and #6 and at Soil Test Pit #4. Top layers of deep brown (lOYR 3/1), gleyed (bluish gray) colored soil (5/10Y), and orange mottling were observed in the wetland soil pits. All soil colors identified meet the requirements of hydric soil. An upland test pit was dug to a depth of 16 inches; soil colors did not quality as hydric (lOYR 3/4 with mottles) . Corp of Engineer Data forms for all Data Points are included in the Appendix. Lou Slagle Wetland Report 2000-52 3 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. 4/00 Vegetation Vegetation in the wetland areas includes a mixed deciduous tree layer of alder and two species of willows with an understory of salmonberry, cattail, sedges, water parsley, nettles and buttercups. Several of these species require regular inundation. Reed canarygrass, a non-native and often invasive grass, is present along the wetland edge. The upland area is mostly cleared to accommodate the living areas. Hydrology There is a flowing stream, Ludlow Creek, at the bottom of the valley with areas of pooled water in the adjacent wetland. Soil saturation and surface saturation were prevalent for 160 feet from the creek. All of the wetland test pits had water within 3" to 10" of the surface. Recommendations Buffer averaging should include a buffer enhancement plan which specifies the introduction of native trees and shrubs to increase the diversity and functional attributes of the buffer. The control of the reed canarygrass, and removal of debris from the wetland (metal roofing, lumber piles, debris) is also recommended. Any planting should be monitored at least 5 years to ensure success. Summary A Class I wetland is present on the Slagle property and buildings will be regulated according to the Critical Areas Ordinance concerning wetlands. Buffers for Class I wetland are 75 feet. Reduction of buffers is possible but shall be allowed only when specified criteria are met. Final authority over this wetland determination and classification rests with Jefferson County and the Corps of Engineers. If you have any questions please feel free to call.
